What happens is probably that git doesn't want to pack them, because they are available in the alternates, but then also doesn't want to prune them, because they aren't available in a _pack_ in the alternate. That does look like something we migth decide to want to change in git. Maybe. But I repacked my repo, just so that you can get your "no loose objects" situation you want ;) Linus
